.: Lightweight Strollers
Key Features: Weighing less than 14 pounds, lightweight strollers are ideal for parents short on space (at home and in the trunk). They're also perfect for those who want a stroller that's compact and convenient for traveling or short trips around town.
|
$ Budget: Cosmo DX by Combi ($90)
For under $100, this sassy stroller is a steal. Weighing in at 13 pounds, it has many of the same features as heavier, higher-priced strollers including a reclining seat for on-the-go naps, a functional canopy and a super-easy folding mechanism. Bonus: it looks expensive.

$$ Mid-Range: Maclaren Volo ($130)
Ultra-lightweight (under nine pounds), incredibly easy to maneuver and a snap to fold up, the Volo is the perfect pick for urban parents. Attached straps are handy for carrying it up and down stairs or on or off the subway, and the removable overhead canopy provides ample shade. On rainy days, throw on the bonus rain cover.

$$$ Luxury: Maclaren Quest Sport ($215)
If you like the Volo, you'll love the sleek Quest Sport. Slightly heavier (12 pounds) but worth its weight, extra features include a reclining padded seat and adjustable leg rest for baby's added comfort. Parents dig the gender-neutral, sporty look and the peek-a-boo window built into the canopy to check up on baby.

|
.: Standard Single Strollers
Key Features: Standard-size strollers offer more features than lightweight strollers, but parents pay the price in the added weight and added cost. They're worth it; the seat is roomier, the ride is smoother, and convenient extras like cup holders, snack trays and large storage baskets allow you and baby to travel longer comfortably.
|
$ Budget: Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe ($130)
Parents on a tight budget don't have to sacrifice style, safety and comfort. A best-seller nationwide, the Quattro Tour has all the bells and whistles minus the big price tag. Baby can fully recline in the plush seat or enjoy a snack from the snack tray, while parents can take advantage of the oversized, easy-access basket and parent tray.
|
$$ Mid-Range: Baby Planet Solo Deluxe ($270)
Combining sleek, modern design with hint of drama (check out the curvy profile and rich color combinations), this new stroller looks much more expensive than it really is. It's fully-loaded, easy to maneuver, handles turns smoothly and provides a velvety smooth ride-making it convenient for everyday use. Bonus: height-adjustable handles give everyone in the family a customized grip.
|
$$$ Luxury: Valco Runabout Tri-Mode Stroller ($425)
The Runabout suits sporty parents who want a versatile, all-terrain stroller. Pneumatic wheels with three functions (swivel, fixed and angled) guarantee a smooth ride and ultimate maneuverability in all types of road conditions. The large canopy protects baby from the elements, and abundant storage allows parents to be prepared for their adventures. Bonus: center foot brake locks both rear wheels in one quick step.

.: Jogging Stollers
Key Features: Designed for active families and those who want to get back in shape with their children, three-wheeled jogging strollers allow parents to jog safely and comfortably. Common features include large air-filled tires, durable, lightweight construction and hand brakes for safe stopping.
|
|
$ Budget: InStep Runaround LTD Jogging Stroller ($110)
For a little over $100, the award-winning Runaround is a bargain for the occasional jogger. Easy to fold and easy to use, it has all the basics for a good jog: comfortable seating, large sunshade and rear-suspension for a smooth ride for baby and a parent tray and generous storage basket for mom.

|
$$ Mid-Range: Baby Jogger Q Series ($250)
We expect nothing but the best from the makers of the original jogging stroller, and the Q Series doesn't disappoint. The easiest jogger to fold and transport, simply lift the strap on the seat with one hand and fold. Storage is a non-issue with the quick-release mechanism that lets you remove all three puncture-resistant wheels effortlessly.

|
.: Double Strollers
If you're in search of a double stroller for your growing brood, you can choose from several options depending on your preference and needs: a tandem stroller where one child sits behind the other, a side-by-side stroller where they sit next to each other and the latest stand-on stroller for those with an older child-baby combination.
|
|
$ Budget: Joovy Caboose Tandem Stand-On ($150)
If you have a baby who requires a comfortable seat and a toddler who likes to hop on and off, try the Joovy. A platform in the rear lets your tot stand while you push, and when his legs get tired he can rest on the bench. Bonus: it works with most infant car seats, so you can use it as soon as number two is born.

$$ Mid-Range: Graco DuoGlider ($180)
A bargain for its price, the DuoGlider features reclining seats, large canopies, dual snack trays with cup holders and a generous storage bin underneath. Compatible with the Graco SnugRide Car Seat, parents can use this from birth on up.
